1,2,5 if 6 is a given. If not, then change out 6 for 5 in my picks. |
I have high standards, sorry. I'm going with all of them. I wouldn't have married someone who didn't have each of those things. |
Every answer but one chose number 1 yet you DCUM's always claim to be superior to their husbands. Money grubbing b*#ches. |
Yes, everyone marries hoping that their spouse stays attractive and fit and that their sex life stays robust through children and ageing etc. the question is for people already married- what matters now. What's happening or what do you prioritize now? I'm sure you aren't the only one with high standards. I'm sure you still, like everyone, prioritize those standards. |
5, 4, 1 I can't imagine I would enjoy spending time with someone who didn't care about my feelings or lusted after a neighbor/my nonexistent sister. I am high drive and don't want phone it in duty sex If he makes a lot of money, we can outsource much of 2. We all get old. |
All things equal nobody wants to be a with a broke dude. Life is much better all around if we aren't scrambling to make ends meet. But keep making those lattes, the supermarket cashier of your dreams will find you. |
1,5 and 3 |
Keep hurling insults the truth must really bite. FWI, I am a 40 something marries male with a 200k income and a house in Fairfax. I just find it funny that all the DCUM's claim to be smarter and make more money than their husbands or can't find a good man to love, yet all they are looking for here is money. Money whores. |
Please make these modifications.
Add # 8. Good father # 6. Change to reliable, honest and trustworthy. # 1. Change to good provider ( consistent, dependable, not necessary to make a lot of money) |
I prioritize all of those things. I have them all now. I wouldn't put up with a man who let himself get fat, had an affair with my neighbor, or didn't help me with household chores and children. And no I wouldn't have married a man with poor earning potential either or someone I didn't get along with in or out of bed. The one thing I could let go, I guess, is #6. I wouldn't put up with an actual affair or flirtation, as I said, but I can't control his thoughts. I'm sure he does lust after other women. I certain find other men attractive. |
And yet in the other thread all the men talk about are tight bodies, and daily porn sex. Y'all don't have the high ground, I'm sorry. Thanks for playing though. |
200k in fairfax? Living my nightmare. But it clearly sounds like you are that "good man" you tak about - running around screaming about what whores women are and all. You sound like a true gentleman. - independently wealthy woman |
What, are we supposed to be impressed by this salary? Come back when you're making 3x that amount and maybe we'll talk then. I guess your wife didn't marry you for #1! |
Oh. Well, yeah, if you'd divorce your husband for gaining weight or losing his job I wouldn't really say you have high standards so much as you must have takes really different vows than I did. |
I wouldn't divorce immediately but I would tell him to make some changes, and support those efforts, if he was gaining a lot of weight (unhealthy) or unemployed for a long period (depressed). YMMV but I have a fantastic marriage compared to most of the people who miserably post on here about their lack of sex lives or even friendly connection with spouses. Probably because I ask for what I want and then expect to get it. |
